James Cook does not appear intent on holding out.
The NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the two-time Pro Bowl running back, who has vocally sought a contract extension over the offseason, is reporting to Buffalo Bills training camp.

He appeared in 16 games a season ago, rushing for 1,009 yards on 207 carries with a league-leading 16 touchdowns, tied with Derrick Henry of the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs. Cook also added two receiving TDs.
Cook is heading into the final year of of his rookie contract and will earn $5.27 million this season.
